4. Case study: the cassava value chain
• Cassava is a very important food security crop in Sub-Saharan Africa
• Various ways to measure climate impacts of cassava climate impacts:
Life Cycle Assessment is a framework to measure environmental impact along the entire value chain. Within LCA, there are various tools, e.g. Ex-Ante Carbon Tool (EX-ACT), FAO
IFAD: Climate-risk assessments within value chain projects
UNEP: The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB)
Measure climate impact
Apply climate-smart practices
Use an inclusive, bottom-up approach

4. Case study: the cassava value chain (cont.)
Measure climate impact
Apply climate-smart practices
Use an inclusive, bottom-up approach
1. Pre-production stage: no strong climate/environmental constraints
2. Production stage: land-use impacts
3. Post-production stage: food waste impacts

With special focus on incentives for the private sector!!
What farmers need: diversification + commercialisation + extensification
5. Way forward: 4 questions for debate

5. Way forward: 4 questions for debate
1
How to ensure access to climate funds for smallholder farmers?
2
How to leverage more climate funds, precisely from African sources?
3
How to ensure that the science and funding play out at the ground with complex dynamics?
4
How to implement the NDCs in an innovative way?
